“Infra-Man” is a like a 70s “Godzilla” movie with better special effects, sillier-looking monsters, less talking and more action because I always hated the fact that in most giant monster movies (e.g. “Godzilla” and the Japanese “King Kong” films) you always had to wait until the last ten minutes of the film in order to see the fighting.

In “Infra-Man”, a group of ridiculous monsters led by Princess Dragon Mom are about to take over the world so a scientist creates Infra-Man, who does several consecutive somersaults every time he appears, can detach his hand, has rocket boots that defy the laws of physics and despite being a supposedly ‘secret’ government project is instantly recognised by name during his debut. Most of the film consists of people in shiny silver suits being attacked and Infra-Man coming to save the day.

When it comes to these movies you really can’t judge the acting in normal ways; the action sequences are much easier to discuss. I think they are really good here as they’re much more kung-fu driven and due to that look a lot more fluent than the usual slow manoeuvrability found in something like “Godzilla” or “Mothra”.

“Infra-Man” is a lot better than it perhaps should be as after all it is still pretty much the same cheesiness always found in this type of film but here it looks a lot better than it normally does. “Infra-Man” has one of the funniest moments I’ve ever seen in a movie and that is the decapitation sequence near the end, if it doesn’t have you in stitches then maybe you should consider visiting a doctor. Forget the bigger names in the monster movie industry, Infra-Man is the one to remember and he needs a sequel. I’m hoping for something along the lines of “Infra-Man 2: Invasion Of Planet X”.
